Matchday Gallery | West Ham narrowly defeated in Premier League Summer Series opener

West Ham United started their Premier League Summer Series campaign with a 2-1 defeat by Manchester United at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Bruno Fernandes put the Red Devils ahead in the United States, converting from the penalty spot after Alphonse Areola fouled Ayden Heaven and Manchester United led 1-0 going into the half-time break.

Fernandes then doubled his tally and Manchester United's lead on 52 minutes after Patrick Dorgu had intercepted and fed his captain.

Jarrod Bowen halved the deficit on 63 minutes with a spectacular right-foot shot after latching onto Tomáš Souček's pass, but Manchester United held on to win by a single goal margin.

AFC Bournemouth defeated Everton 3-0 in the opening half of the double-header earlier in the afternoon on a hot and humid day.

We have games against Everton at Soldier Field in Chicago on Wednesday and Bournemouth at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta a week on Sunday.
